After napping off our afternoon wanderings and vin chaud, we awoke and relaxed a bit. The Missus watched Netflix, I worked on a post. By the time we headed out it was dark. We decided to head back to Place Kléber considered to be the central square of Strasbourg. As the sun set, the city seemed to awaken, everyone put on their warm clothes, the lights came on, and Strasbourg came alive.
The Missus was enchanted with all of the wonderful window displays.
Just like the previous evening we stopped at Place Kléber to enjoy the Christmas Tree.
And the beautifully lit Aubette.
So strikingly beautiful. It just put you in the holiday mood……
And this really good street musician helped to set the tone.
It just made for a wonderful moment in time.
Wandering around the side streets we found a little courtyard and this wine bar.
Named Terres a Vin. We decided to step in and have some wine and a snack.
We both started with wines typical of the region; a Riesling for the Missus a Gewürztraminer for me. While sipping on our wine, we decided to stick around for a while. We ordered some fromage and had another glass.
It was another nice little stop on a day of many wonderful vignettes.

As we headed back to the apartment; we decided to get something to eat. Guess what the Missus wanted?
Yep, more choucroute, this time with just some "knacks". That baguette was actually quite good. The Missus just couldn't get enough sauerkraut.
There's a time for having things planned out when on vacation. But then again, sometimes it's great to not make plans at all. Not having to be anywhere made for a wonderful day, in a lovely city.
We were given a bottle of wine when we checked in. This evening made for the perfect moment to pop that cork…..
Move one of the chairs up to the window; throw back the curtains, and enjoy…….
Thanks for stopping by!
